Fun fact Friday..... On April 29, 1879 Cleveland, OH became the first US city to install electric street lamps. These were designed by Charles Brush. Richmond followed in 1888. While there is no highlighted documentation of when Petersburg installed theirs, it is suspected that they followed suit, shortly there after. The city relied on gas lighting which was installed in 1851 prior. On April 27, 2021, Petersburg began the modernization of their systems by converting to LED. Over 3000 streetlights where replaced.

We are proud to be part of the addition and replacement of lights in Old Town.

Happy Frazier Friday! We are all about energy education. Curiosity got the better of me and I needed to know.. what was the effect on day light savings time and energy? I felt like Mythbusters, and went way down the rabbit hole.

Daylight saving time (DST) shifts the clock forward by one hour in the spring to extend evening daylight and back one hour in the fall to return to standard time.

DST began during World War I as a way to conserve energy by reducing the need to turn on lights. The U.S. adopted standard time zones in 1883 to help railroads coordinate schedules and later made DST official through the Uniform Time Act in 1966.

As DST ends on March 7, you may wonder if this long-standing tradition saves energy. DST was originally believed to save electricity due to increased daylight hours. However, data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA) found that lighting only makes up about 5% of residential electricity usage.

When the Standard Time Act introduced daylight saving time in 1918, most homes used electricity mainly for lighting. Today, heating, cooling, water heaters, and appliances account for most energy use. These activities don’t depend on daylight.

While DST may have once helped conserve energy, its impact is minimal in modern homes. Still, the tradition creates debate about whether the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. - data courtesy of saveoneenergy-

You know we love all things local and giving credit to others when we see excellent service. We recently made the switch with our banking to New Horizon Bank, N.A.. It has been an ideal fit for us since day 1! Tanya Ricksand her team have gone above and beyond to not only make the transition smooth, but helped us with any issues we had during the process. That type of customer service just is not seen anymore in the larger banks.

Stay tuned for the jolliest bunch of elves this side of the North Pole tomorrow......
